Missed It: Gemstone Publishing Changes

Dirk Deppey noticed this blog report that Gemstone is cutting its Disney line by several titles. The inability for any company, let alone one run by Diamond Comics owner Steve Geppi, to release a line of successful Disney comics in North America has long interested and exasperated comics commentarians, although this latest story sounds less like the usual collapse-of-line saga than it sounds like Gemstone is going to play with some formats and limit their exposure on less successful iterations of this material because paper costs makes publishing at a loss feel more like publishing at a loss, which is exactly like publishing at a loss except with the sensation of an 11-year-old boy socking you in the stomach over and over again.
